It has been on everyone’s lips for a while now, but I heard it out loud for the first time in a client meeting last week: “we are preparing for a recession”.

In this blog, I would like to share with you three major areas of how psychology transformed my coaching and why you should bring psychology into coaching.
I don’t subscribe to the “coaching is not psychology” school of thought. In fact, I think that it is a false dichotomy.
